Re: What I don't like about Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
[quote name="Commander Tansin A. Darcos"][quote name="Mysterio"]Thanks a lot, I read it. I think your Wikipedia fu failed you that time, Commander. [/quote]I don't know what you're talking about. I became agnostic around 1985. You think they had Wikipedia in 1985? [quote]You appear to have stopped thinking about these issues at age 13.[/quote]I started thinking about them as far back as 16. I have never stopped thinking about them. Which is what caused me to drop religion because I understood what it meant and how wrong it was. The difference between me and a religious person is I do not allow religion to usurp reality. When religion and reality come into conflict reality always wins. [quote]Pro tip from a pro (ordained Catholic deacon) -- go back to Wikipedia and really study this shit. [/quote] What is it that makes people think I read Wikipedia about some subject? I have not done so. I have no interest in a religion that holds suffering, sacrifice and pain as its highest goal. My sister and I had a discussion once about who suffers more, Catholics or Jews, and we decided the Catholics suffer more, but Jews are better at marketing and promoting how much they suffer. [quote]Were you a Catholic kid, Paul? I'm guessing you quit after Confirmation? Or during?[/quote]My mother was Catholic, my father was Methodist. I got his church but I learned plenty of guilt and suffering from Ma. [/quote]
